Oh, I SEE what da pattern is! =D
You see, like in this problem:
2 + 5 = 12
They did 5 times 2 = 10, plus da 2 in da problem = 12.
Same with 3 + 6 = 21, 6 times 3 = 18, 18 plus da 3 given in da problem = 21.
Just like 1 + 4 = 5, 4 times 1 = 4, plus da 1 in da problem = 5.
SO,
with that strategy, 8 +11 = 96, because 8 times 11 = 88, plus da 8 given in da problem = 96.
I hope I helped! =D
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-5=2x-6. First you collect like terms
2x-2x=-6+5
0=-1
This statement is false 0≠-1
Let x = Parent's age now y = son's age now
Then, x-5 = parent's age five years ago
y-5 = son's age five years ago
So, x-5 = 5(y-5)
Simplify to get x - 5y = -20
Parent's age 8 years from now = x+8
Son's age 8 years from now = y+8
So, x+8 = 3(y+8)
Simplifying, we have x - 3y = 16
We have the system of equations: x - 5y = -20
x - 3y = 16
Subtract the equations to obtain -2y = -36
y = 18
x = 70
Parent is 70 years old and the son is 18 years old.
It would be 2,5, and 6. The mode means the number that is repeating the most. Since 2, 5, and 6 all appear 3 times, that is the mode
